Tomorrow is Christ the King Sunday. I will climb into the pulpit and preach a sermon proclaiming Christ as Savior and Redeemer. This is the story I have inherited and claim and celebrate.
Today I received a phone call. My friend who was raised Jewish and working to become a certified chaplain. Earlier this week I gave her a copy of the Presbyterian Book of Common Worship so that she could study the Baptism liturgy. Her call today was to tell me she offered an emergency baptism for a Catholic man.
I thought to myself. Wow. A woman raised as a Jew using Reformed liturgy to baptize a Catholic.
And yet.....God offers grace!
